Sell the pot here. Use the money to buy a pot you like. I like blue and I've liked them for twenty years, and not too many people question my choice in pots because I have trees as nice or better than most. I am likely to point that out if the subject is broached. Put it up for auction here or in the youtube Bonsai Auction

I appreciate all the suggestions here re: new pots. Being a recent air layer from a quite larger tree, it's pretty uninteresting at this time. Bark is babybutt smooth but has some nodes that should hold some promise. The feature is a looonnnngggggg limb that extends a couple feet from the main stick and should be pretty when it blooms.
But that's about the total thing on it.
Could be similar to ikebana when it blooms.
I used to have a local standard nursery that got pots in regularly. Not "pro" pots but passable. They're no longer in bizz. A shame.
If the tree performs well over time, I'll quite likely think it rates a "worthy" investment in a blue pot.
If I hadn't ...WON... the current pot, I'd put it in a terra cotta pot from Lowes and say "done."
Time will tell. Thanks all.

Please don't construe this as being flippant or rude, but it sounds like your crab is not ready for a nice bonsai pot. It would be a shame to waste a good pot only to find a nice plant for it a couple months down the road.

No offense taken. I agree.
If a blue pot surfaces in the interim, I'll probably pick up a modest one. Slip potting is easy.
